Saulat Mirza spills 'target killing' beans

MACHH: Notorious murderer and death row convict Saulat Mirza in a video which surfaced hours before his execution revealed that he was being used as political pawn, ARY News reported.

Awarded death penalty for killing KESC Managing Director Shahid Hamid, his driver and a guard on July 5, 1997, in Karachi, Mirza opened up about his past, crimes and threats days before his execution and accepted that he was a member of MQM.

The video surfaced hours before he was set to be hanged to death in Machh Jail in Balochistan.

Saulat Mirza urged all political workers to open eyes to see that how he is being disposed off after achieving political ends.

“You should come out of this, it is not necessary that you enter politics or leave politics, but whatever you do, do it with open mind”, said Mirza.

He claimed that when a worker is arrested, MQM disowns him adding that whoever gets a little famous is thrown out of the party.

Mirza claimed that political workers are used for ‘dirty work’ in the name of rights and ideology and then disowned by the party.

“I was brainwashed, used and disposed off like a tissue paper”, said a grieved Mirza.

The target killer revealed that one of the founding members of MQM, Azeem Tariq was killed on Altaf Hussain’s orders.

One of the shocking revelations that Mirza made was that he used to receive target killing orders directly from Altaf Hussain through MQM’s senior leader Babar Ghouri.

Mirza maintained that he was looking for a platform to openly voice his views but did not get any before today and he still knows what is at stake.

“I still fear about my family, none other in my family belongs to MQM”, claimed Mirza.

Mirza claimed that he killed KESC MD Shahid Hamid on direct orders from Altaf Hussain as he and three others were called on Babar Ghouri’s house where on a phone, MQM chief Altaf Hussain gave orders to kill Shahid Hamid.
